Bite Sized is a moving, poetic description of a mother's striving to nourish her child, who refuses to eat. It is a story about the impact of eating disorders and the challenges of parenting, and a story of the monster that lurks close by all of us in the modern world - the monster of 'too much' and 'not enough'. The book speaks to anyone trying to care for another person, bring up a child, grapple with illness, or simply navigate the ups and downs of being human. Told in digestible morsels, it offers space for shared human experiences to resonate, including the need to be nourished. Fiona Hamilton brings the depth and conviction of personal experience, a sprinkling of humour, and a poetic heart to themes of body, mind, suffering and relationships. Profoundly moving, Bite Sized faces a modern-day problem with our humanity and invites us to take on monsters, trusting in the importance of love.

Industry Reviews

'Compact, compelling and courageous, Bite Sized is a brave and honest account of a mother's experience of her daughter's anorexia. It should be recommended reading for all health care professionals.' - Dr Rachel Bryant-Waugh, Great Ormond Street Hospital 'To speak with clarity and sensitivity, in a language so free of the too-available response of guilt or blame, is in itself a kind of care.' - From the foreword by Philip Gross, author of The Wasting Game 'A powerful insight into the impact that an eating disorder can have on the whole family.' - Susan Ringwood, Chief Executive of Beat 'Bite Sized speaks to me directly, as I imagine it will to any parent who has witnessed the horror of anorexia. A book to be shared with anyone who knows what it is to care.' - Erica Husain, Parent 'Bite Sized is a brave and searing account from a mother navigating her daughter's anorexia... honest and moving, not shying away from how painful it is, Bite Sized nonetheless offers hope and a side of the story that needs to be heard.' - Katie Green, author of Lighter Than My Shadow 'A generous gift for healthcare professionals, carers, and all who live with challenges of mental and physical conditions - or simply with the ups and downs of being human.' - Dr Clare Short, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist
